[PSUBS-MAILIST] HMS Tireless submarine deaths

[irox <irox@ix.netcom.com>]

An article on the two people who died on HMS Tireless.  Seems oil
contaminated an "oxygen candle" causing it to explode when it was
used in a drill:

Another article for early with more details about the candles:

I'm not planning on using "oxygen candles" for emergency oxygen.
But it would we an easy way of increasing the amount of oxygen
a submarine carries.

Cheers,
  Ian.
